I thought that leaving you would be   Harder that anything that I've never done   Yes I believed that you were the one   And now I know that I just wasn't right   And giving up this fight   Was something on the other side      Without you, I'm finally free   I'm no longer in the shadows   Without you, it's easy to breathe   Now that we're not together   Everything's so much better   Without you      So take your things, I don't need them   To remind me of the way we were and how we've been   That just brings me down   I don't need sympathy from anyone   I'd rather be alone, standing on my own      Without you, I'm finally free   I'm no longer in the shadows   Without you, it's easy to breathe   Now that we're not together   Everything's so much better   Without you      You were the one who made me cry   Promised you would change a thousand times   We had a love that couldn't change   But you turned me around   And now I just can't take it no more   I just can't take it      I thought that leaving you would be   Harder that anything    I was so wrong      Without you, I'm finally free   I'm no longer in the shadows   Without you, it's easy to breathe   Now that were not together   Everything's so much better   Without you
